This post, in Persian, is basically about a chat I had with a friend of mine who lives in a northern Iranian town. He was telling me really awful stuff about how bad inflation is. One really funny but truly upsetting thing he told me was that eggs are getting expensive and also being hard to find in the market since poultries can't afford feeding their hens and chickens. And he also told me that 2 lbs of tomato cost around 6.5 US Dollars (5000 tomans). To give you a better picture of the conditions on the ground, I should say that a high ranking government clerk may receive a salary of up to 350 USD a month. It means nothing, especially if the individual is responsible for his/her family and has to pay rent and debts and also feeds his dependents.

Iran, a rich country in natural resources, that can't even feed its own people yet it wants to take on the world and wipe that state or this nation off the map. I wonder how long it will take to get a free Iran back on track of normalcy. 10 years? 20? 50?....!?

Winston jan: This is particulary sickening because Iran is a vastly rich country (fourth exporters of oil). Check out the website below.Fourty percent of Iranian live below poverty level while Jordan, Lebanon, Uzbakistan, Parguay, Malasia, Laos, Pakistan have less of their population living below l poverty levels than Iran.
